How to add parameters in CR 8.5? 1

[ReportingAnalyst]

Hi,

I would like to add a parameter in CR 8.5? How can I do this? Which menu do I use? I did not create the report, but need to add a parameter to the report header.

Thanks.

What is the intent of the parameter. When one doesn't know how to create it, it usually means that they don't know how to implement it as well, so posting requirements is a far better idea.

To create it, right click PARAMETER in the field explorer and select New (can't recall the exact name in 8.5).

To use it in the record selection, use Report->Selection Formula->Record and place something like:

{table.field} = {?MyParameter}

Making sure that the parameter is of the same type as the field.
